PHYTOPLANKTON



These plants are found in all oceans through-out them. Their predators are mostly marine animals, ranging anywhere from a large whale to the tiniest fish. Phytoplankton are very important to the whole world. They are at the base of the food chain and they are energy for humans. They use sunlight for energy. A very interesting fact about phytoplankton is that when the plants die they just sink on down to the bottom of the ocean!
